In May, New York State announced that all K-12 schools in the state must enforce a bell-to-bell restriction on internet-enabled devices, such as smartphones and smartwatches, under Education Law 2803. This is effective September 1.

The Sidney Central School District understands this change may be welcomed by some and raise concerns for others.

Please see the attached information about what this means for Sidney CSD students. Our goal is to ensure clear communication about what this means for our students and families.
